Spotlight on ........ Lichtsome Gems

Ever since she was a little girl Joyce has loved to make things, knitting, sewing, cross-stitch, card making to name but a few but my favourite is jewellery making.

Most of the pieces are one of a kind, and very seldom make two the same. She works with cultured freshwater pearls, mother of pearl, semi-precious stones and finish off every piece with sterling silver. She loves the luminosity and depth of colour of natural pearls, look closely at a pearl and it looks as if it is lit from within. With mother of pearl and semi-precious stones every bead is unique because of it`s natural and indivdual markings.

Joyce sells her pieces at local craft fairs and exhibitions organised by the Speyside Artisans.
